Présentation de l'éditeur
Navy that, under the good providence of God, the wealth, prosperity, and the peace of these Islands and of the Empire do mainly depend. So runs a sentence in the Articles of War carried on board every warship of the British Fleet. And the purpose of this little book is to try to show you how true that sentence has been and is, and how, bit by bit, through many hundreds of years, the rulers and the people of these islands have been coming more and more to understand its truth, and to see that at all costs our Navy must be kept up to such strength as shall make it impossible for any enemy to attack us with any hope of success. Our country has been invaded and conquered by foreign enemies several times during its long history. Never could these invasions have succeeded had we at the time possessed a fleet sufficiently strong to meet the invaders on the water. But to-day our safety more than ever depends upon a strong fleet. For if we were at war with another great nation, and our fleet was not powerful enough to meet and beat decisively that of our enemy, there would be no need of an invading R.N.
